Chapter 86

Facing the surging crowd, Luo Li was well-prepared. With a nod, Jin Chengdong, standing at the counter, cleared his throat and shouted:

"Sorry, our shop sells only two talismans per day. Buyers, please line up to select a number, and we will draw lots later. Those who draw the lucky numbers can buy the talismans!"

As soon as he said this, numerous buyers began to shout:

"What? No talismans to sell, and we have to select numbers? What's going on here?"

"Yeah, yeah, I have spirit stones, but you won't sell to me? You're really something, I won't buy anymore!"

"Right, won't buy, won't buy. Only two a day? That's too much of a rip-off!"

The shouts filled the air, but Luo Li and his group were not bothered. If you want to shout, go ahead. To buy a talisman, you must queue up and draw lots.

After a while, the crowd stopped shouting and started to think:

"Only two talismans a day, it's clear these are high-quality talismans, and we must get them."

"This is definitely a good thing, can't miss it. If I can't get one, neither can anyone else!"

"Let's try our luck. I've always had good luck, let's give it a try!"

Those who had shouted about leaving did not leave. They all obediently lined up, forming a queue of over a hundred people. They no longer cared about the actual price of the Ziwēi Tiānjiǎ Talisman, even fifty spirit stones were acceptable!

Jin Chengdong began selling the numbers.

"You are number one!" "You are number two!" "You are number three!"

He issued a total of 121 numbers. Then Jin Chengdong took out a large golden bottle and said to Zhu Jian:

"Today you are the lucky one, you will draw the numbers!"

Zhu Jian nodded and reached into the golden bottle, pulling out two slips of paper and reading them:

"Number 76! Number 107!"

The two cultivators whose numbers were called immediately shouted:

"I got it, I got it!"

They rushed forward, took out fifty spirit stones, and bought the two talismans. They looked at Luo Li with gratitude, not feeling that they had spent fifty spirit stones for a single talisman.

Seeing their joyful expressions, Luo Li didn't know what to say. Just then, he received two good deeds from them, never expecting that selling talismans could also earn good deeds. Truly, the world is vast and full of wonders!

These two good deeds, plus the one from Zhu Jian, gave him a total of four good deeds! Besides these four good deeds, Luo Li had one good virtue that had not been activated.

The transaction ended, and Jin Chengdong shouted:

"Alright, today's talismans are sold out. Numbers will be issued tomorrow morning, and the draw will be held at noon. Those who want to buy, come and queue up!"

After saying this, the shop closed, and they only did one transaction per day.

The two cultivators who bought the talismans were extremely happy and left. At this moment, a cultivator quietly approached, it was Jin Chenggang. He whispered:

"Brother, are you selling this spirit talisman?"

The cultivator who had just bought it replied: "No, if you want to buy, go and queue up!"

Jin Chenggang continued: "I'll offer seventy spirit stones for this talisman!"

This was said loudly, and Jin Lao Di pretended to hear it, shouting:

"Seventy spirit stones? You can make a profit of twenty spirit stones right away, that's amazing! My whole family will come and queue up tomorrow."

The cultivator hesitated, and Jin Chenggang immediately disappeared to ask another person, with Jin Lao Di shouting behind him, "Seventy spirit stones, seventy spirit stones!"

All the cultivators who did not draw the numbers heard this and were immediately envious!

"Damn, you can make a profit of twenty spirit stones right away!"

"This talisman is so profitable, so amazing, my whole family will come and queue up tomorrow!"

"I'll also find my friends, we'll all queue up, make a profit of twenty right away, we must come and queue up!"

Thus, the Ziwēi Tiānjiǎ Talisman was raised to seventy spirit stones. All the cultivators believed it was a top-quality spirit talisman, and buying it would guarantee a profit of twenty spirit stones. They were convinced it was worth the price!

The next morning, Chenzhong Tower opened its doors, and outside, a long queue of over three hundred cultivators waited to select numbers, stretching all the way to Grandma Bridge.

Since there was nothing else to do, just queuing up, and it didn't take much effort, many cultivators came to queue up, thinking that if they got lucky, they could make a profit of twenty spirit stones right away.

Jin Chengdong began issuing numbers, and the draw was held at noon. Two lucky winners bought the talismans, and everyone was happy.

Thus, the queue for numbers at Chenzhong Tower became a scene in the Tianzhu Market. The Ziwēi Tiānjiǎ Talisman gradually became a hot item, and those who drew the numbers could sell it for seventy spirit stones right away.

However, for those who really wanted to buy, the Tianzhu Sect had thirteen blessed lands, three of which were dimensional worlds. Apart from the Yinzhou Continent, one of the dimensional worlds, the Demon Spider Forest, was open to the public. Many cultivators could go to the Demon Spider Forest for exploration.

The Demon Spider Forest was filled with various strange demon spiders. Cultivators could pay a certain amount of spirit stones to be teleported to this continent through the Tianzhu Sect's market.

There, they could capture demon spiders, collect demon spider eggs, and gather various materials. The Tianzhu Sect would buy these at discounted prices, which was one of the reasons for the prosperity of the Tianzhu Sect's market. Many people came specifically for the Demon Spider Forest.

With the Ziwēi Tiānjiǎ Talisman, it was far superior to ordinary defensive talismans, equivalent to having an additional protective gold medal, giving them an extra life. Therefore, spending a few dozen more spirit stones was worth it!

Only two talismans were sold each day, and many people couldn't wait. They began to look for other ways. Gradually, a rumor spread that Maoyuanzhai's Zhu Minghua had a way to get the Ziwēi Tiānjiǎ Talisman. Some people went to find him, and indeed, they could buy the talisman here, as many as they wanted, but the price was higher, one hundred spirit stones!

In fact, this was another sales channel for Luo Li. He gave Zhu Minghua ten spirit stones as a commission for each Ziwēi Tiānjiǎ Talisman, letting him sell it.

The two talismans sold at the shop were a fixed quota, unchanging, to establish the value of the Ziwēi Tiānjiǎ Talisman. This was the real sales channel!

On the tenth of April, Luo Li once again harvested the Dàyèqín, collected the essence blood, and began to refine the talismans. Since only three out of the thirty-six talismans were left, he had to refine more!

The Dàyèqín, after being catalyzed by a secret method, matured in a month. This time, the yield was much higher, yielding over five hundred talisman papers. While selling the talismans, he also refined them. After more than ten days of effort, Luo Li refined seventy-four Ziwēi Tiānjiǎ Talismans.

Thus, April passed, and Luo Li carefully calculated his earnings. After deducting the costs, he had made four thousand spirit stones. Looking at the pile of spirit stones in front of him, he was extremely excited. Going to Chunan Changzhou on the seventh of July was definitely not a problem.

At this rate, he could earn for two more months, and by then, he would have nearly ten thousand spirit stones. He was getting rich, getting rich!

Luo Li was overjoyed by his wealth, but the specialized talisman shops across from him were extremely depressed. Since Luo Li started selling the Ziwēi Tiānjiǎ Talisman, the business of the other three talisman shops immediately declined.

Those who came to buy talismans would ask the first thing: "Do you have the Ziwēi Tiānjiǎ Talisman?"

When they were told no, they would say: "If you don't have the Ziwēi Tiānjiǎ Talisman, what kind of talisman shop is this?" and turn to leave, leaving the shopkeepers and clerks extremely depressed.

The Ziwēi Tiānjiǎ Talisman was like a barometer. Without it, the shop's status immediately dropped, becoming a third-rate shop.

After a month, the shopkeepers couldn't take it anymore and had to go to their bosses.

In the Tianzhu Sect's market, there were three specialized talisman shops, all owned by the same person, the Spirit Spider True Person of the Tianzhu Sect.

The Spirit Spider True Person was the second disciple of the Tianzhu Sect's leader, the Poison Claw True Lord. The Four Seas Hall in the Tianzhu Sect's market was established by him!

The three shopkeepers came to complain. Of course, they wouldn't be received by the Spirit Spider True Person, but by his eldest son, Wan Jinghong, who was about forty years old, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and a master of talisman refinement. He listened carefully to the shopkeepers' complaints and asked:

"Can't we refine the Ziwēi Tiānjiǎ Talisman?"

The shopkeeper replied: "Sir, you are an expert in talisman refinement, you should know, it's not possible. This is a Foundation Establishment talisman, and only those at the Foundation Establishment realm can refine it. Moreover, the method of refinement is hard to obtain. Our Four Seas Hall has twelve Foundation Establishment cultivators, but none of them can refine this talisman."

Another shopkeeper said: "This talisman is not that special. In other major continents, it is sold in shops, and three of them are worth one hundred spirit stones. However, here, in the outer sea, no one specializes in this, so no one can refine it. We can go to the nearest Jiaozhou Continent to buy a batch, but it will take at least two months, require a large amount of spirit stones, and need a dedicated person to go. Please approve it, sir!"

Wan Jinghong said darkly: "A talisman worth thirty spirit stones can be sold for fifty. This shop has some skills. Don't go to Jiaozhou for now. I'll go and check it out tomorrow. I don't believe that, in the Tianzhu Sect, anyone is more skilled in talisman refinement than me. I'll see if they are overachievers or local tyrants. I want to see who they really are!"
